Interview
Typical interview process. HR screening -> Meeting with HM -> Technical Interview -> Panel Interview (which was 4hrs long). During technical interview was asked questions pertaining to the frameworks the team uses and easy leetcode question.
Biggest critic: during the panel interview with the senior qa's, both seemed uninterested in being there and gave off a cold demeanor. Didn't give me time to answer the question. I was continuously being cut off.
The rest of the team and the HR recruiter Nadia were lovely.
